I know this question is probably a "Duh!?" moment but seeing everyones builds like this & taking fancy to them. Inspires me to try it out. Im guessing that you have already bought all the plants for the tank? and that is how you know what pot to use for the holes...right? Theres some broms I'd like to order but dont know what size they'll need. In the past I've only done false bottoms.

for me, it depends on the build. some builds i have a general idea what plants i want to put where and i buy plants as a i go. other builds, i have the plants already growing out before i even start the tank. i think it's good to have a general idea before you build the background, that way you can choose the right sized pots for each plant. always keep in mind that plants, and their roots will need room to grow. but you can also use smaller pots to bind the roots of larger plants, keeping them in check. of course, those plants will have to have their roots trimmed from time to time to keep them healthy.
